It was a Monday morning. The courier knocked, delivering a beautiful arrangement of lilies of the valley. It was a huge surprise. The package had no card attached. A giggle escaped her as she took the bouquet inside.

Her head was spinning. She spent the entire morning in a state of happiness. She was running on adrenaline, buzzing with energy, laughing at everything. She kept touching the flowers, inhaling deeply, and feeling… wonderful.

She felt like she was the star of a movie, and the flowers were her props. What could this mean? She couldn't wait to find out!
